[Q] Samsung Tab 2 10.1 - GT-5100 Jelly Bean - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" with android 4.0.4 I wish to upgrade to Jelly Bean as per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881675
However, I cannot access www.hotfile.com nor any of the mentioned ROM downloads for the last week.
Can anyone please advice on an alternate download location ?
Thanks

Not to worry.
Doing a reverse lookup and then using the IP directly within the URL allowed me to get to the download.

[Q] Want suggestions for Custom ROM for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 (wifi)

Hi, Newbie here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 wifi only tablet. Runs original out of box Samsung OEM ICS 4.0.4, rooted, with CWM Recovery v6.0.1.2.
I'd like to install a custom Jelly Bean ROM. I'd like one where everything works: GPS, camera, google apps, wifi, bluetooth, etc. I really don't know where to start or what to look for or even what to ask for when it comes to picking out a custom ROM. Suggestions and links are very appreciated!
Also, can I somehow somewhere get just plain AOSP Jelly Bean 4.1 ROM and install it?
Thanks.

[Q] official jelly bean

im on the market for a tablet... and im leaning towards the samsung galaxy tab 2.0 and the nexus 7.
i need some help on the deciding for this one.
is the samsung galxy tab now have the official jelly bean update?
thanks
There's still no Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy tab 2 (7 and 10'')... there are some OTA leaks, but they are just incomplete roms that are for testing.
If you need the external sd card slot, then go for the Tab 2... if you don't mind the sd space in the Nexus 7, then go for the Nexus 7.
Jelly bean is gonna be out for the tab 2, but we don't know when.
Cheers.
Bro galaxy tab 2 has not received jelly bean yet but gonna get that soon.its confirmed.
And choice between above devices depend on how you will use it.if you want tab for multimedia purpose go for tab 2 and if you are an extreme gamer choose nexus 7.(also let me tell you that tab 2 also perform great in gaming).you will not regret buying any of these devices.

Error when updating samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 to jelly bean

Hello xda-developers!
Well here is my situation. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 about 1 week ago (Southern California, USA) and the first thing I did was root the device so that I could enable all features and do things like install linux/busybox.
Okay so just the other day i was looking at my notifications and it said that there was a software update. I figured that this was probably samsung's official jelly bean and i was excited to update so I downloaded the software it was around 330MB's. After the download it asked me if i wanted to install now or install later and i choose now and afterwards the device rebooted and it booted into CMW-Recovery and i got this error.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now i heard that i am getting this error because this "software update" is not "officially" signed by Samsung. I don't know if that is true or not...
So i have a couple of questions...
One, is this update for jelly bean?
Two, how can i go about updating to jelly bean?
Three. is my rooted status blocking this update?
Four, is it possible to root the device after the jelly bean update?
If anyone can assist me with this error that I am getting I would really really appreciate it. I am not sure where to go from here.
I thank you all for your time and assistance.

which option do you guys/gals think is better?
Okay so i have been doing a bit of research on this forum and what I have learned is that since I rooted my galaxy tab 2 10.1 which is running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4 ICS) that I can not update Samsung's official jelly bean update.
Is this true?
If it is true...it seems I have a few options.
One of the options that I have is that I can install a custom Jelly Bean Rom using Clock Work Mod Recovery or Samsung Kies. However, I am not sure which rom to use, and I have heard that using a custom rom you can run into issues when upgrading the Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 to Jelly Bean, one of the issues being that "sound" will not work. Is this true?
Okay second thing that I am wondering is do you think if i booted into Clock Work Mod Recovery and choose the option to restore my galaxy tab
to stock firmware (a factory reset) then could i use the software update option to upgrade to Samsung's official Jelly Bean update and then root it after my tablet has been updated to Jelly Bean?
Which option do you think would be better?
Also can anyone possibly provide a tutorial on how to upgrade jelly bean with the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 so that I can take
a look, I am not sure how to update it.
I would love to find a tutorial for using either CWM or Samsung Kies.
I thank you all for your time and help...

Well after careful consideration i decided that my best option was to download Android Jelly Bean version 4.2.1 from Cyanogenmod nightly builds and i was able to flash the custom JB rom and flash Google apps. I decided to go this route so that I could get the excellent Jelly Bean update and I also get to keep my tablet rooted and not have to root it all over again.
Here is an excellent guide on how to install the Jelly Bean update version 4.2.1
http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod10.1:GT-P5110:How_to_install
It was quite easy to install and I have been using JB for about 1 day now and I don't have any complaints. The nightly build is working quite well for me...
That tutorial says its for the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 GT-p5110 but i have the model GT-P5113 and it the install guide still worked without any issues.
If anyone has any questions about updating to this version of Jelly Bean or needs any help with the installation process i would be more than happy to help out...
Thanks to all who responded...
